Soundgarden add extra dates across the US this spring with guests The Dillinger Escape Plan and The Pretty Reckless

Soundgarden have added extra dates to their US spring tour.

They previously revealed a handful of shows throughout April and May – now they’ve confirmed they’ll embark on further concerts with The Dillinger Escape Plan and The Pretty Reckless, who’ll appear on select dates

The shows get underway on April 28 in Tampa and wrap up with a set at Rocklahoma on May 27.

He said: “We’ve already done some writing. We have more writing to do and then there’s the whole studio process. We’re shooting for later 2017. Some people whip out albums in a few weeks or a few months. Soundgarden takes months.

“We do something for a few weeks then come back later and revisit it.”

As for the material, he added: “It has precision where it needs precision. It has chaos and looseness where you want the song to be wild. It has colour where you want it to really shine. We really roll the thing over. It’s definitely a fun and dynamic process.”
